First CE installation: Authentication issues
by Ciro Iriarte 16 Jul '15

16 Jul '15

Hi!, I just upgraded my home test installation from old SVN version to CE edition and I'm having issues authenticating with http-auth. On the first try I get my own AuthName which has a value of "testing lab" but once I input the authentication info I get another box asking for authentication, with a new AuthName with value "Unauthorised access or use shall render the user liable to criminal and/or civil prosecution.". Can anybody tell me if authentication changed sin the single version times?. This is the configuration file that worked previusly: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /opt/observium/html/ ServerName observium.lab.com CustomLog /opt/observium/logs/access_log combined ErrorLog /opt/observium/logs/error_log <Directory "/opt/observium/html/"> AllowOverride All Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes Require all granted Order allow,deny Allow from all AuthType Kerberos AuthName "testing lab" KrbMethodNegotiate On KrbMethodK5Passwd On KrbAuthRealms LAB.COM Krb5KeyTab /etc/httpd/lab.keytab KrbLocalUserMapping On Require valid-user </Directory> </VirtualHost> Any pointers? Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://iriarte.it --

I'm setting up observium in a multi site WAN config, each location will go over the WAN into a data center. I'm wondering about general best practices being a newb, and any specific advise for a roll out. Thanks, Christopher C.

Reporting

Your software gets better and better. The metrics are wonderful but I spend a lot of time screenshotting them to send to our executives. Can you put a print button in? Or, even better, CRON a print job to send say a week/month/day’s worth of bandwidth on a specific port or server to an email address? That would be amazing. Or, is that something we could pay for and have added to the version(s) for everyone? I’m on subscription if that matters.

I’m having troubles adding devices recently. In the add host page, it shows blue for SNMP an looks like it’s been added but below that it says that it can’t ping the host. I can SSH to the server and both ping and snmpwalk work. Any ideas?

GeoLocation slightly off?
by Rudolf Hoehler 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Hello Community, I've read through the archives and I've got my geo-location sysLocation string working. What I cannot find an answer on is why the Latitude/Longitude insists on being slightly different from the actual co-ordinteas that I specify. As you can see in the screen shot, Observium parses the SysLocation fine and passes the exact correct values to MAPQUEST. Where do the slightly incorrect values come from? Thanks for any help guys. Regards, Rudolf

Hello, I try to find the best solution for add custom alerting for Linux with observium. As for now it's not possible to use xinetd with new alert system, i wonder how i can add properly custom data that's will be graph and avaible in checker conditions. I would like add a simple test as custom script that's will download a http page and return 0 if failed or a value in ms for time to download the page. Will add the script in snmpd.conf. But what will be the best oid for this without change observium code ? Thanks for help. Best Regards, -- Fabien

VLAN Bandwidth Measuring Support
by Fred Pedrisa 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

Dear, guys. We are using H3C 5820 switch (comware) and currently now observium supports it pretty well, however a feature it is missing, is the bandwidth measuring for the Vlan-Interfaces this switch have. Is there any way it could be implemented ? Sincerely, -- Fred Pedrisa
